Chapter 53: Suicide? This beautiful skin will become his survival...
Mu Xingchen's brow furrowed as a thought flashed through her mind. Why was he acting so strangely? Although she felt unhappy, she wasn't seriously injured. He knew this, but he still forced himself to channel his spiritual energy into her.
If someone were capable of spiritual cultivation, receiving this spiritual energy would improve their cultivation, but she couldn't. Even if she lost, it would only alleviate her physical discomfort. Clearly, this was an extremely unprofitable deal.
However, this action did calm Mu Xingchen down, and she was somewhat satisfied with his behavior.
When Li Jing withdrew his hand, his fingertips trembled slightly, but he did not show it on his face.
Mu Xingchen noticed this subtle change, and she calmly felt his pulse.
For a moment, she frowned silently, effortlessly releasing a chaotic internal energy without even needing to use any spiritual energy. There was still a surge of power coursing through his body, and it was clear that he was about to lose control.
Is this a demonic aura? Why is it so chaotic?
Qi Feng had previously said that his demonic core was nearly shattered due to his injuries. If his disappearance during this time was due to his inability to maintain his human form, then was it because he had forced himself to regain his human form last night that his demonic energy was disrupted, causing it to become so chaotic...
Mu Xingchen's heart suddenly became more complicated. Did he really suppress his evil aura and come to find her last night?
It seems like she took a gamble last night, and she was able to come even with this...
Mu Xingchen felt even more complicated, and for the first time in her life, she felt a hint of guilt.
What a sin, she sighed.
Li Jing saw her lost in thought and asked in a deep voice, "What are you thinking about?"
Mu Xingchen came back to his senses. "Huh? I wasn't thinking anything."
"How did you get that scar on your chest?" he asked calmly while feeding her porridge.
Mu Xingchen's breath hitched. That scar had been caused by the wind and snow. Time had been too short for it to fully heal, but with plenty of medication and the spiritual energy he had transferred to her when she was injured, only a thin scar remained.
"By the branches..."
"It's Scar." Li Jing said firmly. He looked into her eyes calmly without saying a word.
Mu Xingchen lowered her head. She was silent for a moment, and suddenly her eyes became red.
Li Jing's heart suddenly tightened. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Who did it?" Although his tone did not show any anger, the strong murderous aura on his body betrayed him.
Mu Xingchen shook her head, buried her face under the quilt and wiped away her tears, saying a little aggrievedly, "I'm fine."
"Don't want to tell me? If you don't tell me, I'll go check it out." Li Jing's tone turned cold.
Mu Xingchen suddenly panicked. She pinched his sleeve and said with tears in her eyes, "It's not someone else. It's me."
Li Jing was stunned. His voice was hoarse and he said, "What did you say?"
Mu Xingchen choked up and said, "Didn't you want me to die before? I..."
Li Jing's face suddenly turned extremely pale.
She committed suicide.
His hand shook, and the porridge in the bowl immediately hit his wrist, burning it red.
His eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.
No wonder she wanted the dagger at that time, no wonder she suddenly had a fever after returning, no wonder she ran so far to jump off the cliff, it turned out that she stabbed herself but didn't die...
Li Jing's breathing felt like it was being held back, and a sharp pain shot through his heart. The thought of her nearly dying brought a wave of involuntary fear. He had never been afraid in all these years, but this time, he was terrified.
"Jing...Brother Jing?" Mu Xingchen looked at his pale face and frowned involuntarily.
She wasn't teasing him, but it was the only way she could justify herself. But seeing him in such a dazed state, she was also very surprised.
He was the one who wanted to kill her in the past. Even when he was losing his mind, he was still thinking about how to kill her.
Li Jing's breathing became heavy. He cleaned up the spilled porridge without saying a word, then turned around and poured a new bowl. He raised his hand without saying a word.
The spoon came to Mu Xingchen's mouth, and she ate the porridge silently. The air was eerily quiet.
Li Jing's expression was not very good, and his face was even paler than when she got up.
After finishing the porridge, Li Jing pursed his lips slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't do this kind of thing in the future." He raised his eyes and looked into her eyes seriously and said: "I'm sorry, before..." He lowered his eyes and frowned slightly.
There was silence for a long time, but nothing could be explained.
Everything about them was vastly different. The person before him was the only unexpected event, the only uncontrollable one, the only unsolvable one.
He didn't want to drag her into the abyss of his life, he just wanted her to live a simple life.
He thought of thousands of words, and finally they turned into four words.
"I like you."
Mu Xingchen's pupils froze. Was he... such a straightforward type?
"I'm sorry, it was my fault that time, it was me..." Li Jing said with difficulty, he couldn't go on.
Mu Xingchen moved her fingers slightly, and she smiled, "It's okay, Brother Jing, your words are enough."
Li Jing raised his eyes and said seriously: "I will marry you, and you will be the only one in my life. So... can you please forget all the bad things I did to you?" He choked up a little when he said the last few words, and even had a humble plea.
Mu Xingchen's breath caught. What was going on? Was such a grand statement necessary?
"Why... do you like me?" Mu Xingchen asked.
Li Jing thought about this question carefully. He wrapped his bony fingers around her wrist and answered gently, "I can't say for sure. Maybe it was the first time I saw you..."
Feelings are a very wonderful thing. The moment he saw her on the cliff that time, he remembered her.
Mu Xingchen's breathing paused again.
So, they both have sexual attraction to each other, right?
If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door.
However, this kind of love is too easy to disappear in a flash.
Mu Xingchen thought of this and breathed a sigh of relief.
She was just using him, and when he was no longer useful, she would dump him.
Love is something illusory and fleeting. Only strength is real. Of course, if she is still interested in him at that time, she might consider what Xiao Qi said, imprisoning him and making him her prisoner.
Mu Xingchen thought about it and curled the corners of his mouth.
At that time, his beautiful appearance will become his weapon for survival.

Author's words: Li Jing: "I feel so guilty again, I want to die."
Mu Xingchen handed over the knife: "Goodbye, I won't see you off."
Li Jing was angry: "You always take advantage of me."
Mu Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "So what? What else can I do?"
